What has George RR Martin said about The Winds of Winter?

So far, Martin has given little away about what could be in the story of The Winds of Winter.

Many have speculated as to whether it will follow the story of Game of Thrones, or whether it will deviate given the terrible reception of the final series of the show.

The Winds of Winter will depict the events in the penultimate series of the show, so it may be Martin takes this opportunity to deviate from the path set by showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff.

In terms of the writing, Martin has revealed he is “making progress” on the book while in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 14 Martin posted: “No big news here, but it has been a week or so since my last blog post, so I thought I would say hi.

“I am still up in the mountains, doing the social distancing rag, and writing Winds of Winter.

“I have good days and bad days, but I am making progress.”

He also assured fans that, while others may be writing TV series based on his books, such as the new House of the Dragon prequel series based on Fire and Blood, he was only writing The Winds of Winter, contributing to these series only with his “producer’s hat on.”

However, the release date may still be a way off, with there being the coronavirus still threatening to spoil further releases as 2020 rolls on.
